Hi David, I checked with several Franklin County resources and this was all I could come up with. There have been two locations for this church. The original was moved long ago, but the old cemetery site remains. The directions I came up with claim that it is "near Hunter's Creek, adjacent to the Dock Burnette farm." The present day church and cemetery is, "on Hwy. 106, north of Carnesville, nearest town - Red Hill Community." I know this isn't much, but it was all I could find. I talked with the woman who is over the genealogy department at the library and this was all she knew. I hope this helps. Debbie Jenkins<daj@@hemc.net>

Payne" <otime1@@yahoo.com> Subject: 1st Allen's cemetery Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 10:12:32 -0500 David,The lady, who's grandfather owns the land where the first Allen's Church and Cemetery were located, just called me and told me that there are 4 markers in the old cemetery, 1-Ledbetter, 2- Mabrey's and 1 with no name, and some field stones. Also, there is a family cemetery located on former land of Edward C. Vandiver, just above the present day Allen's Church. Edward C. Vandiver & some other man, purchased or gave the land for the present day Allen's. This cemetery is in the History of Franklin Co., Cemetery survey's, and they list one marker, with his son named, and the other graves are just marked with field stones. Sorry we couldn't find proof that your Addison's are buried here. Mrs. Jordan said that we would be welcome to visit the cemetery if we wanted to. Her father, Alfred Burnette, owns the land where the cemetery is located. Dianne Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 13:02:18 -0500 David, I went to the Franklin County Courthouse yesterday and as I'm not good with directions, I checked the miles to Burnette Road, where the old Allen's Cemetery is located. From Anderson, take I-85 south to Georgia exit 173- CARNESVILLE/TOCCOA. When you stop at the top of the exit ramp, you will be facing the Echo Truck Stop & Restaurent. Turn right onto highway 106 towards Toccoa. You will go about 6.3 miles on Hwy 106 to Burnette Road, which is on the left. You will pass Allens Methodist Church, (left side)and a sign for Broad River Baptist Church, the Mason Hall, another sign for Broad River Baptist Church, and a big white ante-bellum type house (all on the right). After you pass the large white house you will see signs for an intersection, which will be Burnette road, to your left. (if you don't turn left, appx 2/10 of a mile, you will come to Ellis Chapel, the 2nd location for Allen's church, still called the colored Allen's by people in this area). When you turn left onto Burnette road, The 1st Allens Church cemetery is located on private property owned by Mr. Alfred Burnette #1600 Burnette road, he is about the 5th house on the right and has a circle drive. His phone # is: 706-779-2248 So far, I haven't found any one who knows who Paul Vandiver was. I'm thinking that the cemetery is the one on the Old Edward Calllaway Vandiver property, but that is just a guess. Think I told you about that cemetery, with just fieldstones and one marker for Edward's son. If you speak with Mr. Alfred Burnette, he may know about Mr. Paul Vandiver. I'm not good with directions but the Edward Callaway Vandiver family cemetery is supposedly located behind the home of Wayne Isbell. The old house has been replaced with a double-wide mobile home and is the 2nd house(#15950) on the right side of Hwy 106 just after you pass Allen's Methodist Church Cemetery. Mr. Isbell has a metal building/shop above the mobile home directly on hwy 106, and I have seen people there during day hours. Even tho I don't know Mr. Isbell, I presume that he was the person I saw there. His phone # is: 706-384-5507. If you do get over to Franklin Co., you may want to visit Broad River Baptist Church, where your Joel and Nancy Mahalia Susan Vandiver Addison are buried. Most of my Vandiver and Stancil relatives are buried there and I'm a member, even tho I don't go there anymore. Got to do better and start back!! The Land for Broad River Baptist was given by Mahalia's father, B.P. Vandiver and my family still owns some of B.P.'s original tract. Apparently B.P. gave each of his children a portion of his farm and my grandfather, Albert E. Stancil bought his mother's part and a couple of her sisters. My grandfather stated in his will, that farm would go to his sons and then passed to his grandchildren. My cousins and I now own the farm and both my children live on my portion. One of my cousins has a mobile home just below the church, My son has a mobile home near hwy 106, and my daughter has just built a house over there. Let me know when you think you will come over and If I'm home, I would like to meet you. Good Luck, Dianne
